Melodia Viajera
Raly Barrionuevo
Traveling Melody
Today to my old Santiago
I want to sing a chacarera
That is born within the soul
Like a star is born
Whistling a melody
Walking old paths
Getting lost in the middle of the mountain
Being drum and box in the siesta
With the rhythm of Salamanca
Swinging to the side of the trench
Dancing with the one I love the most
My dark-skinned woman from Santiago
I want to sing to you, Santiago
Your traveling melody
May your magic spell to the east
Turn me into a chacarera
Eating prickly pear syrup
Crushing me with your silence
Filling my chest and soul
With the scents of pennyroyal
Oh my Stgo, I miss you
When I leave your skies
The salt, the absence I long for
Will burn me in its time
A little monkey and a cachilo
Traveling through your bowels
Will take me to your mountain
To soak with nostalgia
I want to sing to you, Santiago
Your traveling melody
May your magic spell to the east
Turn me into a chacarera
